Chapter 241

"Hahaha!!!"

"That won't be necessary."

"Let's just start directly; there's no need to waste time."

Upon hearing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally saw through Hozuki Mangetsu's intentions and understood the challenge hidden in his words.

The two of them responded to each other in this manner, showing absolutely no intention of acknowledging Mizunuki Eiro.

This scene left Mizunuki Eiro so angry that his face turned iron-blue.

He clenched his fists tightly, staring fixedly at Mizunuki Ryosuke and Hozuki Mangetsu.

His eyes were filled with rage.

Although the two ignored Mizunuki Eiro entirely, he ultimately did not choose to rest and recover his stamina.

On one hand, perhaps he did not want to be outdone by them.

On the other hand, with Elder Lynx helping him in secret, Mizunuki Eiro had other certainties in his heart.

"Just you wait!"

"You two! Look down on me, and I will make you pay the price!"

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Mizunuki Eiro's eyes.

In reality, Mizunuki Ryosuke was somewhat curious.

The bad blood between himself and Mizunuki Eiro went without saying, but why was Hozuki Mangetsu being so cold and dismissive toward Mizunuki Eiro?

Perhaps in the past, when both were geniuses of the young generation in Kirigakure, they might have had some friction.

It seemed this question would have to wait until later to ask Hozuki Mangetsu.

"Then, the three of you, who is willing to be the first to challenge me and this elder beside me?"

Seeing that the three had reached a consensus, Elder Lynx continued to speak with a smiling demeanor.

As he spoke, a strange light flashed in Elder Lynx's eyes.

Being tough does not mean being reckless.

In a ninja's battle, intelligence is always the top priority.

This battle of three challenging two was destined to be unfair.

At this moment, all three had already gone through one battle, and the entire process had been watched by the two Ninja Cat elders.

Their own abilities had already been partially exposed, while they knew nothing of their opponents' abilities, which put the three at an inherent disadvantage.

What was even more certain was that whoever went out first would inevitably face a Ninja Cat elder at their peak, with all abilities unknown.

Therefore, whoever went first would inevitably be at the greatest disadvantage.

Once they chose to lead the charge, they would inevitably test out some of this elder's trump cards and abilities.

Not only that, a half-hour battle, even if it didn't result in a winner, would inevitably consume a large amount of the Ninja Cat elder's stamina.

This would, therefore, create a huge advantage for those who fought later.

All in all, it was no less than an act of "aiding the enemy."
